Name: Vitis arizonica - Vitis girdiana Wet Shrubland Alliance Reference: NatureServe Biotics 2019 Description: This shrubland alliance forms an open to continuous shrub layer. The emergent tree layer is typically not present, and the herbaceous layer is sparse to intermittent. The dominant and characteristic shrubs in this alliance are either <i>Vitis arizonica, Vitis californica</i>, or <i>Vitis girdiana</i>, and others that are sometimes present include <i>Baccharis sergiloides, Pluchea sericea, Salix exigua</i>, and <i>Salix laevigata</i>. Sometimes <i>Salix exigua</i> may be codominant with <i>Vitis</i>. The herbaceous layer may be well-developed or open with <i>Phragmites australis</i> often present at variable cover, and <i>Cladium californicum, Marah macrocarpus, Bromus tectorum, Schismus</i> spp., and <i>Amsinckia</i> spp. sometimes present. The alliance is currently known from Lake Mead National Recreation Area, Nevada, and Death Valley, California, where it is found localized along mountain drainages, seasonal riparian streams, washes, and spring areas in the desert west at various aspects. It is also found in cismontane California, especially along seasonal streams and rivers. Elevations range from approximately 450 to 1500 m. Soils are alluvial and derived from a variety of substrates including alkali-granite and sandstone.  Accession Code: urn:lsid:vegbank.org:commConcept:39361-{0AEB7E78-9C49-4ED9-90EE-9E2E12A38F21} Plot-observations of this Community Concept: 0
